THE SHORT MOVIE BY LILIA LI-MI-YAN AND KATHERINA SADOVSKY . 31 OCT - 2 NOV 2025
The presentation of video art “When the hawk comes” created by two artists Lilia Li-Mi-Yan and Katherina Sadovsky as a part of Limassol Art Walks.
The short video tells a sad, poetic story about the world today. The plot and melody of an Armenian lullaby are taken as a starting point, where a mother tries to calm her son by offering to make a symbolic choice of a destiny bird. His predictable choice is a warlike hawk.
Nineteen women of different ages wander in a string through the endless desert, re-mastering or forever saying goodbye to the space reminiscent of the fields of past battles. The horrors of war are resolutely put out of the brackets of this world without men. It is a gynaeceum, majestic, beautiful and frightening.
